    Haha I think I should clarify something in this video, I’m in no way unhappy with the equipment I’m using! It works fine and I really like the videos I’ve been making. This is more of an explanation of how my creative strategy has changed dramatically in such a short amount of time. Best of luck to everyone getting out to create things this week, thanks for watching!

    Not feeling like the only one in the world with a nikon, thanks bro 👌🏽
  • @CharleyPangus
    Who cares if you use Nikon your photos and video work looks great! Thats all that matters haha
  • One of my friends films on the z50 and Z6 and loves them. The colors are great! What ever helps you get the film/video done is the right camera.

    I decided to stay with Nikon when going mirrorless after being with the D750 for the last two years and honestly I’m happy as hell...I don’t really let other people’s opinion get to me. Thanks for sharing this video too btw :)

    For what it's worth, Nikon started the video game with the D90 back in the day. To watch people's faces when they realize they were watching a video shot on an dslr back then was a super cool feeling. I did mostly concert photography so stuck with Nikon through the years, D7000 and now D610. I feel Nikon truly doesn't get the respect it deserves on the video side of things.
  • @nick_a_pagan
    Jared Polin used Nikon for video as well. So that's at least 2
  • @robertad242
    Evan, I have a collaboration with nikon but I honestly LOVE my Nikon Z6 for videos 😍😍😍
  • @raven55six
    Nikon is hands down the best camera for photos, nothing comes close to it. But your videos prove that Nikon is crushing the video thing as well.

    I've been trying to make a decision between the popular Sony A7iii and Nikon's D850. In my opinion, nothing beats the depth of Nikon unless you start looking at more expensive options like the Hasselblads. It saddens me that most people don't discuss about the differences in the artistic quality between Nikon's dslr and Sony's mirrorless. But then, the A7iii has much faster autofocus, and it is definitely much lighter...

    I love Nikon don’t plan on switching ever and a tool is a tool always will be about how you use it and what you know how to use best to get the best results nobody should care “what you use” as long as you get the job done. Wish the photography community on YouTube really would just focus a lot more on the Art of photography and creative process and inspiring up and coming photographers like myself to just be more inspired and go out and shoot, who cares about gadgets and what’s new and whatever when there’s people using film doing such amazing things till this day. doubt anybody will read but if someone does hope they can see where I’m coming from. Great video always btw.
  • @oscarurrea8060
    Keep doing you bro. You're a huge inspiration and lovin' the positivity.
  • @daikishinomiya
    I've been using the Z6 for both photo and video for a year so far and it's been superb!
  • All my cameras are nikons. Was filming with a d810 before I got my Z6. Great video as always 💪🏽💪🏽
  • @JHawk
    Been really digging your vids man! And all Lecia lineup could be sick
  • @FocusedwithGK
    Man, your vlogs have really come a LONG WAY! I've been following you for a long time and this vid was super engaging with great content. Keep doing what ya love. I have for 26 years and at times I feel like I'm just hitting my stride. :)

    Nikon video and I go way back. When the D90 came out in September of 2008, I picked one up that day. That was the first DSLR to do video, and I was in heaven. The video maxed out at 720, and, there was no auto-focus while shooting video. I didn't mind. I got a Sigma 30mm 1.4 and took that thing to Disneyland. I think mine were some of the first videos on YouTube of footage inside the rides. Finally, showing off full color, not having to shoot on a handycam in night vision. Also, there was no stabilization whatsoever of course. I didn't care. I knew the game had changed with the D90. Now, I've got a Z50, and just got a Z6II. They've come a long way. Great channel. Take care.
  • @Jessetenfour
    Man not only am I absolutely loving your videos.. being that I live here in GA and I can find motivation through you, but also the fact that you DO use Nikon is awesome to me as well. I started with Nikon and its always slightly bothered me that most people I talk to use Canon or Sony. At the end of the day, it’s a tool and I’d rather be creative than worry about what other people are doing.
  • @Amen20
    I love the look you get on your Nikon, if another person moves to sony and everything will look like in 99% other channels it would be pretty sad.
